National Strategy for Biosurveillance

The White House recently announced a new national biotechnology monitoring strategy. CDC supports the principle of national biomonitoring strategy, especially in recognizing that biomonitoring is important for national security. The role of CDC in supporting this strategy is to utilize e-health data, management of unstructured health data, rapid sharing of health-related information through integration of biomonitoring data, and global disease detection and worldwide It is strengthening cooperation with healthy health partners.

Our federal intergovernmental organization team is working to ensure that the concept of strategy is complemented by concrete action and measurable progress in cooperation with government partners and private enterprises of state, provincial and tribal I work hard. Under this strategy, it is requested to formulate an implementation plan within the next 120 days.

A nationwide biomonitoring strategy requires a coordinated approach to pose a threat to public health and safety. This collaborative approach combines federal, state, local government, private sector, NGO, and international partners to strengthen existing biomonitoring capabilities and to develop new capabilities to manage decision makers and counterparts We will develop. Basic information on these threats This strategy recognizes that fully integrated domestic biomonitoring companies can save human lives by providing basic information to make better decisions at all levels . At the conference, we discuss the implementation strategies of the national biomonitoring strategy and identify core functions.

In 2007 we established our first important step by establishing the Department of Homeland Security's National Biomonitoring Integration Center to make public health a threat to national security. The mission of the Center is to "quickly identify, explain, locate and track the biological events of concern in the country and to collect data on human health, animals, plants, food, water, environmental sectors To integrate and analyze and disseminate warnings and related information ". Before this group was formed there were institutions to track disease, such as Defense Defense Agency, Disease Control Prevention Center, Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry of Agriculture. With the help of the Department of Homeland Security, these agencies work together to secure public health in our country by tracking the disease together.

More than 1 million travelers are processed by the United States every day, and by integration of biomonitoring and detection technologies, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) can protect the United States from new diseases that endanger public health I can do it. In this presentation we will clarify the biomonitoring techniques and methods currently used to strengthen US border security and discuss the necessity of new state-of-the-art technology to improve the quality of infection surveillance.
